Cattle Liv

Anton | Cattle

Anton's owner chose to commit suicide. He was known as Yakwilli and left his daughter a large herd of yaks and aurochs. She was overwhelmed with so many animals and was now looking for a good home for some of the special animals. Alexandra, Amadeus, Anton and Sinja found a new forever home at Gut…

Rowenta | Cattle

In 2008, a cattle breeder from Hallertau contacted us at Gut Aiderbichl's head office. He told us that he had a breeding bull that now had to be retired. But he and the bull had an incredible friendship, so much so that the farmer could even ride on the back of the tame animal. He…

Prinz | Cattle

For cows to produce milk, they have to give birth to a calf every year - these are considered a "by-product". Bull calves like Prinz are particularly hard hit. Their path usually leads them to the slaughterhouse. But Prinz was lucky. An animal-loving lady fell in love with a little calf that she thought was…

Susi | Cattle

Susi was only five weeks old and one of 214 calves that were to be exported to the Netherlands in a three-storey livestock truck. The veterinary office did not allow the small, weak calf to be transported; she did not have a closed coat and had a few scratches on her legs. Maybe Susi was…

Sanny | Cattle

A farmer from Henndorf am Wallersee gave up, because the dairy industry was becoming unrelenting - too much work for too little pay. Survival is hardly possible these days. Three of his last cattle were allowed to move into Gut Aiderbichl and retire. Please support us with a sponsorship so that we can continue to…

July | Cattle

We got to know July and her family back in 2017. Back then, we brought Sammy, July's grandfather's West Highland bull, to Gut Aiderbichl because he had been retired as a breeding bull. Eight years later, we received another call for help from the farmer's family: the farmer had had a serious accident with his…

Oliver | Cattle

One spring day, we received a call from the Association Against Animal Factories. They told us that cattle had been found in a barn where the chains had already grown into the flesh. These animals were now to be slaughtered in an emergency. The association would like to prevent this and save the animals, but…

Isis | Cattle

The injustice that almost happened to Lina and Isis in the world of dairy farming unfortunately happens almost every day. Cattle must first give birth to a calf before they can give milk. Immediately after birth, however, the calves are separated from their mothers so that humans can use the milk. A traumatic experience for…

Pippi | Cattle

Pippi was born into the Aiderbichler family. Her mother Lisa came via Germany's largest Galloway breeding farm, which was facing closure. Most of the animals had already been sold and were therefore housed elsewhere. But the breeder wanted something special for Lisa. He turned to a former breeder colleague, who later became known as Gut…

Hilde | Cattle

Exactly what every farmer fears happened to the owner of Hilde and her companions: The cattle shed went up in flames and almost every animal inside fell victim to the fire. 125 dairy cows died in agony in the flames and only seven were able to escape from the building. Hilde was lucky, but the…

Vroni | Cattle

The famous cow Yvonne has more than impressively demonstrated that cows are very clever. But Vroni is also in no way inferior to her fellow cow when it comes to intelligence. During the Easter period, she escaped from her home barn and could not be caught for more than half a year. All the farmer's…

Helga | Cattle

Exactly what every farmer fears happened to the owner of Helga and her cattle: The cattle shed went up in flames and almost everything inside fell victim to the fire. 125 dairy cows died in agony in the flames and only seven were able to escape from the building. Helga was lucky, but the farmer…
